If admitted applicants will need to submit a final transcript showing their degree has been awarded.
Test Scores (GMAT or GRE)
All Early Advantage MBA (EAMBA) applicants are required to submit an official score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Because it is designed for mid-to senior-level professionals, GMAT is not required for the Professional, Flex, and Executive MBA programs. However, the Admissions Committee may determine that a GMAT is needed after evaluation of the applicant’s resume and transcript.
If applicable, the GMAT/GRE requirement may be waived for applicants who have earned a graduate-level degree; however Early Advantage MBA applicants wishing to be considered for scholarship funds should submit a score on the GMAT even if they have a graduate degree.
GMAT school code - 5575
GRE school code - 5520
Statement of Purpose
Applicants need to write a detailed and carefully edited statement indicating their reasons for pursuing a graduate business degree, their reasons for choosing Crummer, and how these two decisions will combine to assure their professional and personal success. They should incorporate details of their academic and professional background, their strengths and challenges, and any unique aspects of their candidacy they want the Admissions Committee to consider. The suggested length is between 500 and 1,000 words.

Information for International Applicants
International applicants seeking F-1 visas for full time-study are only eligible to apply to the Early Advantage MBA, Executive MBA, or Executive Doctorate in Business programs. There are two parts to this application process.
Applicants will first apply directly to the Crummer for admission. If admitted, they will then work directly with our Office of International Student and Scholar Services office, for the processing of the I-20 form.
Applicants must submit scores from TOEFL iBT or IELTS. The minimum requirement is a 100 on the TOEFL or 7 on the IELTS. If a degree program where English was the only medium of instruction, this requirement may be waived.
A “course-by-course” transcript evaluation (not translation) is required if the undergraduate degree was awarded by an institution outside of the United States. An evaluation can be obtained from a NACES-approved organization, such as Educational Perspectives, World Education Services or Josef Silny & Associates Inc. If the transcript is evaluated by Josef Silny, an official cumulative grade point average report must also be requested and submitted.
Dual Enrollment
A student may not enroll in more than one graduate program at Rollins College. An applicant enrolled full-time in a graduate program at another institution of higher learning will not be admitted to a graduate program at Rollins College.
Graduate students may not enroll in undergraduate courses while they are enrolled in a graduate program without the written approval of the Associate Dean. Undergraduate courses do not qualify for financial assistance and do not count toward the student’s graduate degree.
